@dothebeats - Just search google for e-Peso bill in Philippines and take your pick of various stories. My personal feeling is that the e-Peso will never get off the ground as government controlled currency, but it does increase awareness and knowledge of crypto in general, which is also good for Bitcoin.

Bitcoin and crrypto will be the future of remittances into the Philippines, but the country has a long way to go for the average man on the street to use - he will want Pesos, either in Fiat money or something similar to Gcash / Paypal, which is what I am developing with Tagcash.com

and im sure politics will be the first user of this e-peso bill

Just wait until I can do a "private" presentation to some of the top politicians here. ALL of them did not budge about the foreign currency accounts, because that's probably where all of them keep their money.

hi guys pls. check our proposed project https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=822443.0 Sir dabs to be our escrow, this is made by several ppl though this might not be as big as what Sir Dabs is planning but hopefully it will help out in anyway especially sa value ng living ng mga kababayan natin dito ^^, . This coin is created by several altcoin enthusiast, majority of them are Filipino, namely n3lzon who is incharge in tech development, dearbesz in charge in operation and marketing same with dukektm a fil greece person, and of course ang inyong lingkod lol, anyway the project were created months before the epeso issue, well seems it's unlucky for us to coincide with 3 more IPO announcement today, if you have suggestion and idea or question please feel free to pm us, thanks and have a great day!

This e-Peso thing might be another way of politicians to hide their ill-gotten wealth. Seeing that tracing an account and linking it to a person is a daunting task in itself, these dudes may use it to their advantage. Hmm, politics, how I hate thee.

100% premined PoS is out of the question for various reasons: PoS is unsafe in its current incarnations, the ePeso cannot be an interest-bearing currency if it is to be equivalent to the paper peso, and so on. You express your concern about how the citizens will get their hands on it (apart from buying it from others): that's what the premine is for, it will be distributed among citizens, merchants and evangelists. Do you think a premine bigger than 15% is needed? Bear in mind people are reluctant to support heavily premined currencies.

asking who is your people here? Premine: 15% to be distributed among Philippines citizens <<< then who controlled the 85%?? this is worst than expected15% goes to population of PH then 85% goes to x% of population of BCT? Is this a circus?

When the Republic of the Philippines adopts the currency, the specifications can be altered to suit their needs. << considering conditions and terms; this will never happen; just be realistic yourself ok,
